From the architect. Villa Kiani is located in Mohammad Shahr region (near Karaj city). Designed by Makan Rahmanian and Kamran Heirati the Villa's interior spaces are designed to become an extension of the landscape. Follow the break for drawings and photographs of this project.

The site of the project is a garden of 4,000 sqm area and is surrounded by neighborhood gardens. The total area of the building is around 500 sqm of which 150 sqm has been allocated to exterior voids and semi-covered spaces.

In this project the open exterior spaces are as significant as the interiors. The architects accomplished this by eliminating any suggestive distance between outside and inside. The result became a series of voids and volumetric projects that capture and define the landscape. Continuous views towards the X, Y and Z axis’s were created and the main spaces are organized between transparent layers extended by voids or semi-covered balconies.
